Zoey Faith Has Arrived!

Hellooooo,

I'm thrilled to report that we have a sweet new niece!! Baby Zoey Faith arrived yesterday via c-section (she was breech) and she brought with her, the most delicious chubby cheeks ever! My sisters, Grace and Glory, and I stayed with Zoey's big sister and big brother while my other sister, Diann, and her hubs were at the hospital having Zoey. We had a fun day with "the littles", as I've affectionately termed my sweetie niece and nephew and then we took them to the hospital to see their new baby sister. My parents, (the littles call them Grandma and Sugar Pops (haha)), were at the hospital too, so there were plenty of us on hand to keep the littles entertained while they took turns holding Baby Zoey for the first time.

Here's the new family of FIVE (!)......Phillip & Diann with Ally (age 3), Malachi (age 2) and Zoey. Sooooo cute! I'm tellin' you, it just about melted me into a big pile of mush seeing Ally and Chi meeting their new sister for the first time. Ally saw her and they told her her name and she immediately said, "HIIIII Zoey!" and then, "I love her!" Gahhh. Adorable.

Incidently, earlier in the day, we asked her if the baby was gonna be a boy or a girl and she ASSURED US that it would be a girl (even though no one had that information prior to her arrival...hee) and when we asked her what they should name the baby, she said, "Jesus!" Hahaha. She cracks me up. She also saw her mama laying in that hospital bed and knew that mama had a "big booboo on her belly that we had to be careful of" so she looked up at Diann and said, "You'll be all right." LOL. So matter of fact. Nothing to worry about. So cute.

As for Malachi, he kept kissing Zoey's cheek. Such a sweet pea. I shot some cute mini videos of them all yesterday, so perhaps I can put them all together into a video I can share here. We'll have to see if my video-makin' skills are up to the challenge!

Anyway, I'm so glad that I was able to be there for Zoey's birthday and can't wait to kiss those chubbsy cheeks again!

Have to throw in a sister shot before I go.....L-R: Grace, Glory w/Zoey, Diann and me. 4 sisters......a new mama and three aunties. None of Zoey's uncles were able to be there yesterday because they were either out of town or working or working out of town, but we'll be making another trip right away so at least 2 of her uncles can meet her. And I can't wait for my {rock star} brother to come home from Nashville to meet his new niece too. :) Plus, Zoey's got an aunt and uncle and grandparents on her daddy's side of the family as well, so she's got lots of people to love on her.

Don't worry, I took LOTS of photos so I'll have lots more to share with you soon, but I've got a ton to squeeze into a very short time today, so this'll have to do for now. And yes, I realize that you probably don't come here for baby/kid photos, but you're gonna have to patronize me this week, as I think I might as well dub it "Family Week on the Blog-o!" Haha....

Tomorrow's our 10th anniversary. I've got a few things to handle today in that department as well. I know.....I know......nothing like waiting till the last minute. Please tell me I'm not the only last-minute-girl out there!

If you want to see more baby photos today, I posted several on Twitter last night. You can check 'em out here in the side bar over on the right. You can also follow me on Twitter for those updates and more! And a special thanks for all the Twitter love about Baby Zoey last night. We're all feeling pretty blessed and thankful!
